AMD releases Boot Camp drivers for the Radeon Pro 5600M graphics card on the 16-inch MacBook Pro

This could come in handy.

AMD has released Boot Camp drivers for the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the Radeon Pro 5600M graphics card. The update provides full compatibility with Windows 10.

The Radeon Pro 5600M was introduced earlier this month as a $700 upgrade, and Apple has cited that the 5600M graphics with 8GB of HBM2 memory are up to 75 percent faster than the 5500M graphics with 4GB of GDDR6 memory in the base model 16-inch MacBook Pro.

In spite of Boot Camp’s popularity and the fact that Windows can be directly booted on Intel-based Macs, Apple has stated that it won’t be supported on future Arm-based Macs. Apple’s software engineering chief Craig Federighi has stated that “purely virtualization” will be the route going forward for running Windows.

If you’ve had a chance to try the new driver on your 16-inch MacBook Pro, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
